South Side Sox Crossword Puzzle

Happy Thursday, White Sox fans. I figured you’d need a distraction from all of the White Sox drama going on right now.

Typical, right? Just when there’s something to write about, here’s a clever and well-thought-out crossword puzzle from yours truly.

Hear me out, White Sox fans — it’s better than the actual White Sox news, which is completely saturated and dripping with shit. My brain matter requires more mere days after a four-day weekend than reading about how a talented sports journalist was let go for pondering something that was completely within his rights to publish.

Aside from that, I was able to spend some time on White Sox Twitter yesterday, and you guys are talking about mundane shit that isn’t baseball because you can’t take it anymore, either, can you? Exactly.

If you’re on mobile, want a larger version, possess a desire to print this and write on it with a pen, or want the answer key, please click here for the ability to do all of those things.

The White Sox probably lost last night, right? Does it matter? Anyway, here’s a crossword.
